Water pump AISIN or Hepu

Replaced with an Aisin and no complaints

I got this kit and it’s working good, all that matters is the water pump is aisin

WP, like everybody else said. It sounds identical to my water pump on the same engine when it went. If you DIY it’ll be about $200 (Aisin pump plus new coolant), shop will charge $1000+. It’s an aggravating DIY job. Whether you DIY or have a shop do it, use a OEM replacement made by Aisin. Labor costs are too much to have to re-do it in a few years. I’ve seen prices down to $100 on sale.

I also used a kit from FCP Euro about 8 years ago and it included a HEPU water pump that worked fine for 7 years until I dismantled that car.

I used the same ASIN water pump on my 4GR FSE 65k miles ago. Been great. No leaks or any issues. They are the OEM manufacturer and do not want to create a separate mold for the same product. Every bit as reliable.

I bought Aisin brand instead of Nissan OEM parts, hopefully they're as good or better.

my hepu has been in for 9 years with zero issues

I ordered this water pump from aisin hoping to receive an oem quality part but it seems the molding is not of quality.

I am dealing with a similar issue right now on my CJAA which I changed the timing belt in April this year. Leaking from same spot. Hepu waterpump.

Aisin Timing and Waterpump Installed... not buying again as the plastic turbine broke and caused the headgasket to blow.
